A free 3-month program for young innovators from Northwest Tunisia, turning local challenges into validated solutions.
Tunisia's interior regions are home to a large share of the country's youth — yet innovation ecosystems and entrepreneurship support remain concentrated in Tunis and the coastal belt.
KiHub was established in Kasserine to challenge this. KiImpact Studio is its first cohort-based pre-incubation cycle, designed to give young people the structure, mentorship, and tools to act on their ideas.
Select one challenge area when you apply. All three are grounded in the realities of Northwest Tunisia.
Technology and innovation applied to agriculture and food systems, where smallholder farming is predominant and digital tools remain underutilized.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene solutions for communities facing persistent challenges in access to safe water and adequate sanitation infrastructure.
Sustainable resource use and waste reduction approaches adapted to the economic and ecological realities of Northwest Tunisia.
Each phase has a defined learning focus, a set of activities, and a concrete team output that marks progression to the next stage.
Interviews, team formation, cohort selection, and signing the cohort charter. This is where it gets real.
Community field visits, problem framing workshop, data collection, and expert sessions on research methods and digital tools.
Ideation workshop, assumption testing, Business Model Canvas workshop, and mentorship sessions.
Rapid prototyping methodology workshop, expert mentorship, peer feedback, and iteration sessions.
Pitch training workshop, presentation coaching, and Demo Day with mentors and local stakeholders.
Mentors contribute across all phases, not only at Demo Day, through structured workshops, targeted coaching, and remote follow-up.
Professionals, researchers, and civil society actors with direct knowledge of the local context and sector-specific expertise. Engaged in-person throughout the cycle.
Academics and innovators from international institutions, bringing global expertise in innovation, technology, and social entrepreneurship. Engaged remotely throughout the cycle.
KiImpact Studio contributes directly to six Sustainable Development Goals, linking local innovation to global frameworks.
No prior entrepreneurship or innovation experience required. Curiosity and commitment are sufficient.
Applications are open for Cohort Zero. Join young innovators from Northwest Tunisia building solutions that matter.
